Last week I did a post on pillows and got a suggestion, from Decorative Pillows, to showcase some eco-friendly and fair trade pillow options. They asked and shall receive.
For those of you not familiar with the term "fair trade" here is what it means- "Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries obtain better trading conditions and promote sustainability." (Thank you for that explanation Wikipedia) And I'm pretty sure most of us out there know what eco-friendly means so I will just get on with showing the pillows! Enjoy! : )

I just found these amazing tree house hotels in Harad, Sweden! They have all kinds of styles that are absolutely phenomenal. They suit anybody's character from an almost invisible, mirrored look to a very rustic tree house. I would love to experience staying at a hotel like this. Maybe, one day my wish will come true!

I love pillows. I've been looking at a lot of them lately because I want to add a new one to my couch.... or make one for my couch. Pillows are a small thing that can make a big difference in the look of a couch, a bed, a chair and they add a nice touch of color, texture or design without being too overwhelming. I found several online that I think are cute.

Ready for another round of tug of war? We have set up two great living rooms against each other. There's Earthy Modern which contains the Cynthia sofa that is cute and small, great for apartment living. This room encompasses earth tones that set an easygoing mood. The mid-century modern style combined with the rustic elements all come together well because of the details in the room. Now, the Industrial Countryside Chic living area has a family feel. With the over-sized Andre slipcover sectional and it's down blend cushions, thoughts of comfort and good entertainment come to mind. This room also has incorporated rustic elements, but it makes this room feel country the way it's styled. Another difficult decision to go over, although not without rewards.

Hurry, this could be your reward!

The S Chair and the Mib Chair seem to be bringing a little funk into society. I can tell you that if you need to change up your style, these two chairs will go a long way. Your friends will envy that they didn't think of this idea first. Instead, they will be stuck with some ordinary plastic chairs that do not compare yours because you, of course, have exquisite taste. Do not fall behind, hold your head high and flaunt the designer inside!

Nate Berkus is such a cute, interior designing genius. There, I said it. And, I really love his show. Today he did a segment on wall design without paint. For those of us who live in apartments or lease condos and can't paint walls, Nate offers his upholstered wall idea. On the show, he actually took a printed tablecloth (but you could use a sheet or other cotton fabric) and "glued" it to the wall with liquid starch. The liquid starch doesn't harm the walls and is easy to remove when you need to. Check out the video and then get starching!

When the warmth of the sun generates through your body on a beautiful day, no one wants to be cooped indoors. We want to enjoy every minute of those rays of light that bring happiness to our lives. As I was browsing through websites and blogs I notice that the open outdoors is becoming apart of indoor decor. Beautiful large glass sliding doors are being used to extend your home and become one with nature. This is the greatest invention ever created! Here's why...

We decided to change it up a bit. This tug of war won't be between two items, instead it is between two beautiful dining sets we created in our last catalog. You get to choose between Rustic Zen Ranch or French Gothic Arboretum. In the Rustic Zen Ranch there are a lot of old world pieces that gives the space character. The different elements in this setting are modern, but have a homely feel. Most of the items are reclaimed or refurbished from reused materials which generate a natural look. The French Gothic Arboretum shows how an industrial look is harmonious with the cool tones found in the details of the nature-inspired fabric.  Coordinating with the upholstery fabric, a textured, vibrant green rug ties the space together for a cohesive setting, perfect for relaxing and entertaining guests or family. Now, it's time for you to settle the debate on which setting is superb. Just click here to link to our facebook page, pick your favorite, and leave a comment letting us know why you like it. By commenting you will be entered to win a $200 gift card to High Fashion Home. Who wouldn't want that!

Last week was a very busy week for us because we just received over a thousand pieces of artwork. There were so many creative canvas's I wanted to take all of them home. I managed to resist the temptation, but here are a few that really caught my eye.
